Its quite normal if you have a child or small adult in the front passenger seat to have the light blink on.

 

Better yet: Read the freakin manual that came with the car...

 

My house gets hot when i leave the door open - anyone know why.

We used to have an acronym for posts like this: RTM!

 

relax all, no need to be hostile...

 

No it was not that Road Rage it was this RTFM

 

Depending how LITTLE your cousin is, they should not be in the front seat with the airbag, as it can kill them.

I have only recently let my 12 year old sit there, but my 10 year old is not allowed.

 

Easy fellas...
no need to flame..
an easy yes it is normal would be fine

On a serious note, the side airbag is designed to cut off based on the weight of the passenger. My light always comes on when I put my work bag on the seat (thank god my laptop will be safe!!)

 

Exactly!

 

put the little one in the back and strap em' down .... why would you let em' ride in the front anyway is beyond me
